Your data’s security has always been our top priority, and now, we’re taking it even further. With the introduction of 2-Factor Authentication (2FA), Time Tracker gives you an extra layer of protection to keep your account and sensitive information safe.

What is 2-Factor Authentication?

2FA adds an additional step to the login process. Alongside your regular password, you’ll now have the option to verify your identity with:

  • A one-time code sent to your email
  • Authentication apps like Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator

This means even if someone gets your password, they won’t be able to access your account without the second verification step.

How It Works

By default, 2FA is turned off for all accounts. However, administrators can enable it for their organization with just a few clicks:

  1. Log in as an admin and go to System Settings
  2. Toggle on Two-Factor Authentication
  3. Choose your preferred verification methods (email and/or authentication apps)
  4. Instruct team members to set up their 2FA during their next login

Once enabled, users will be prompted to verify their login with the chosen method, helping your business stay secure.

Why Enable 2FA?

  • Stronger security: Protect your account even if your password is compromised
  • Compliance: Align with best practices and security requirements in your industry
  • Peace of mind: Reduce the risk of unauthorized access to your business data

Get Started Today

To enable 2FA for your account, log in as an admin and visit System Settings and toggle on Two-Factor Authentication. Your team will appreciate the added protection.
